Baynes has been an important piece of the team's defensive line since joining it last season, and while the Cs have plenty of depth and guys hungry for a shot at some meaningful minutes, it's unclear just how bad the injury was, and if (never mind how long) he'll miss any time because of it; said coach Brad Stevens of the injury (per NBC Boston's Chris Forsberg): "I don’t have any update on it; hamstrings are scary to me".

Baynes came up lame with a hamstring injury and now he's heading straight to the locker room after getting subbed out.

Hopefully it's a minor tweak, something at the level of what Jaylen Brown was dealing with during the playoffs last spring or less - while Boston may have the depth to make do without him, he's an important part of the Celtics' rotation, and every game without him is a game with fewer options available on both ends of the court.
